Visual Arts
Art is a fundamental part of education. It provides students with the opportunity for expression and communication at every age level. This expression allows students to become aware of and recognize images and spatial relationships. Art is a problem solving process. Students create and carry out ideas to form the whole, completed project. Appreciation of the creative experience at all levels is gained through their own projects and the works of other artists. The art process helps students organize their thoughts for other areas. Welcome back to another year. As usual, this year the 8th grade will work on a project for the auction. Pictures of our work in progress will be coming shortly. Don't miss them. Mrs. Pesce Grade 7 does their paper mache projects. These are always a challenge. Grade 6 presents designs for the school Christmas card. Grades 4 and 5 work on projects having to do with line, shape and color. Grades K - 3 will be working on painting and drawing as well as large fall characters. Cutting skills and the use of different art tools is well underway.
